Some other noteworthy filmmakers to check out would be:
Mark L. Lester….His films are soo dreamy.
Glauber Rocha (BLACK GOD, WHITE DEVIL and TERRE EM TRANSE are getting DVD re-releases and his film ANTONIO DAS MORTES will be released sometime in ‘09)
Jacques Rivette (He just had a film come out in ’08 entitled: THE DUCHESS OF LANGEAIS and it’s had a US DVD release. If you search I’m positive you will be able to find other films of his)
Nagisa Oshima (Best known for the film IN THE REALM OF THE SENSES which I believe has a DVD release. Also May 1-31 there will be a Oshima retrospective at the Wexner Center for the arts in Columbus, OH.
